- dwheeler 2y agoArabic is still fundamentally phonetic. The article mentions thus is only a Chinese and Japanese problem.
- alephnerd 2y agoNo one uses Sanskrit anymore. Thar said, South Asian languages are phonetic so similar problems to Chinese do not exist. The best comparison for character amnesia in Chinese would probably be Japanese.
- w0de0 2y agoArabic is an adjad, so of course not. The "combination" you're thinking of is akin to cursive - stylistic.
